To add to the love in, Bannermans is one of the best PBH venues for many different reasons - location, room, kit - but most of all staff. They're absolutely brilliant and under the tutelage of Karen and Christian (the managers) run a very tight and very friendly ship. Other acts and venues should take heed of how we all work together in here. It's a brilliant experience once a year and I hope I'm lucky enough to justify being back next time.

The basics - 80 seat room, great position, good beer, drains outside absolutely stink to high heaven every other day and nobody minds. Bannermans is a music venue so they're very good at artist changeover as well. It really is very difficult to fault.

My buckets this year were actually down a little but that was entirely my fault and they weren't down enough for it to be a worry to anyone else. It's something I'll sort out in 2016 with (frankly) a better show!
